Sending condolences to the family of my sweet friend Clara Amy. I went to school with Amy at Blackjack back in 1936. We also attended Hearne High School together. I also knew her brothers Larkin and Jim. I treasure my memories of Clara Amy. May God give your family comfort during this time of your loss.
With deepest sympathy, I would like to extend my condolences to the entire family of Mrs. Amy Williams, during your time of bereavement. My thoughts and prayers are with you all on today and every day going forth from this point on. May your hearts and souls find peace and comfort. It has been such a joy to get to know Mrs. Williams and I will never forget her. She will be greatly missed. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4
May God continue to bless and keep the entire family.
